Description

Willing to help with delivery within a reasonable distance of Denver.

I bought it 2.5 years ago and immediately began modifying it for my needs.

Refer to the following thread for some more detail (but it’s not up to date with all the mods): https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/my-taxa-cricket-mod-build.189809/ 

Trailer is factory wired for solar and comes with the Zamp portable panel.

Here’s the list of mods/upgrades if you don’t want to read the thread:
-Professionally built, boxed 2”x5” steel frame with extended draw bar
-4” lift heavy duty Timbren axle-less suspension
-Lock N Roll multi-axis hitch-Ark trailer jack
-31” Big O AT tires w/ full size spare (like new) on 16” 6 x 5.5  Toyota wheels
-Spare tire carrier on driver side rear step
-25 gal fresh water tank w/ custom 0.25” aluminum skid plate and electric level gauge
-Removed large gray water tank and replaced with mobile 7 gal Aqua-Tainer-Propex HS2000 propane heater
-Eccotemp L5 on-demand propane water heater in Pelican case plumbed to interior sink and exterior shower with quick connects-Quick Pitch en-suite exterior shower enclosure w/ aluminum box
-79” CVT awning-Large UWS tongue box
-11# propane tank x2 in Powertank brackets
-14” roof vent with 12v reversible, variable speed electric fan
-L track on interior floor for securing cargo-Dual child bunks
-Recently replaced 12v water pump-Bluesea battery disconnect switch
-USB charge ports x2-Voltmeter
-Custom full coverage cover for storage 
 
The less than good:
-Damage to the driver side fender and composite wall from a tire blowout. I pulled the fender and got after it with a BFH so it’s a bit deformed but 100% functional. I’ll do my best to repair the panel with some filler/adhesive but it’s 100% cosmetic.

New standard 2019/2020s go for $27-30k, depending on options. A new 2020 Overland Edition is $39k+. Although their Overland Edition has some of the upgrades that mine does (16” wheels, Lock N Roll hitch, Timbren axle-less suspension, kid bunk), it still has a weak c-channel frame, which in my estimation is the biggest flaw with the Cricket if you want to go anywhere other than highways to graded dirt/gravel roads to campgrounds. I’ve taken my Cricket on some rough Colorado trails to dispersed campsites and it doesn’t flinch. Refer to page 2 of my mod thread above for what happens to a Taxa frame when actually used to get off the beaten path.
